Ceiling Lighting provides overall illumination; it is also known as ambient lighting. Ambient lighting radiates a comfortable level of brightness, enabling one to see and walk about safely.
Stairways and halls must have good general lighting for safety, and it's important to size the decorative fixture to the space. Two-story foyers will require a larger fixture and if the fixture can be viewed from above, be sure to select a foyer fixture which looks attractive from second story viewing.
Close to Ceiling Lighting is used for 8 ft. ceilings and pendant lighting fixtures are used for 9 ft. and more ceilings.
